5.1 Definition. The term “Confidential Information” means any information disclosed by one party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”) in any form (written, oral, etc.) that is marked as confidential or that should be reasonably understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of the disclosure, including, without limitation: trade secrets; technology and technical information (intellectual property, inventions, know-how, ideas, and methods); business, financial, and customer information (including Customer Data and Customer Personal Data); pricing, forecasts, strategies, and product development plans; and/or the terms of this Agreement. However, Confidential Information shall not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public without any action by, or involvement of, the Receiving Party; or (ii) was in its possession or known by it prior to receipt from the Disclosing Party without obligation of confidentiality; or (iii) was rightfully disclosed to it without restriction by a third party; or (iv) was independently developed without use of any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party.
5.2 Obligations. Each party understands that the Disclosing Party has or may disclose Confidential Information in connection with this Agreement, but that the Receiving Party shall receive no rights in, or licenses to, such Confidential Information. The Receiving Party shall not disclose or use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside of the scope of this Agreement, except with the Disclosing Party's prior written permission. The Receiving Party agrees: (i) to not disclose Confidential Information to any third party other than those of its employees, contractors, advisors, investors, and potential acquirers (“Representatives”) with a need to have access thereto and who have entered into non-disclosure and non-use agreements applicable to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information no less restrictive than the obligations herein, and (ii) to use such Confidential Information solely as reasonably required in connection with the Software Subscription and/or this Agreement. Each Party agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Agreement caused by any of its Representatives. The Receiving Party further agrees to take the same security precautions to protect against unauthorized disclosure or unauthorized use of such Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party that the Party takes with its own confidential or proprietary information, but in no event, will a Party apply less than reasonable precautions to protect such Confidential Information. Each Party acknowledges that the use of such precautions is not a guarantee against unauthorized disclosure or use.
5.3 Required Disclosure. Nothing in this Agreement will prevent the Receiving Party from disclosing Confidential Information as required in response to a request under applicable open records laws or pursuant to any judicial or governmental order, provided that, to the extent permitted by law, the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party reasonable prior notice to contest such a disclosure. For the avoidance of doubt, Customer acknowledges that Time Doctor utilizes the services of, and Customer may request additional services from, certain third parties in connection with Time Doctor’s provision of the Software Subscription (such as data hosting, telephone service providers, and Customer’s Third-Party Services providers) and such third parties will have access to Customer’s Confidential Information, including Customer Data and Customer Personal Data in accordance with this Agreement.
5.4 Retention. Each Party agrees that, upon the written request of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party will promptly return to the Disclosing Party, or provide written certification of the destruction of, all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, including all Confidential Information contained in internal documents, without retaining any copy, extract, or summary of any part thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Receiving Party may retain copies of Confidential Information solely to the extent necessary for purposes of such party’s ordinary course of business internal document retention and backup requirements and procedures, provided that such Confidential Information shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement for so long as it is retained.
5.5 Acknowledgement. Customer acknowledges that Time Doctor does not wish to receive any Confidential Information from Customer that is not necessary for Time Doctor to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and, unless the Parties specifically agree otherwise, Time Doctor may reasonably presume that any unrelated information received from Customer is not Confidential Information, unless such information is marked as “Confidential.”
6. Intellectual Property Rights; Ownership
Except as expressly set forth herein, Time Doctor alone (and its licensors, where applicable) will retain all intellectual property rights relating to the Software Subscription or the Software or any suggestions, ideas, enhancement requests, feedback, recommendations or other information provided by Customer or any third party relating to the Software Subscription and/or the Software, which are hereby automatically assigned to Time Doctor.

Customer acknowledges it is solely responsible for providing any and all instructions to the Third-Party Service provider about the use and protection of Customer Data, including any Customer Personal Data, and for entering into any required agreements with the Third-Party Service provider to protect such Customer Data or regulate its use by the Third-Party Service provider.

Legality and Compliance: The anonymization process complies with GDPR and other relevant data protection regulations, ensuring that the data cannot be linked back to any individual. Anonymized data is treated as non-personal data under these laws.
Usage of Anonymized Data: Anonymized data is used exclusively for internal purposes such as improving Time Doctor’s algorithms and services. It does not leave Time Doctor’s secure environment.
Transparency and Rights: Time Doctor commits to transparency about Time Doctor’s data processing practices. Customers can inquire about Time Doctor’s data handling and anonymization practices at any time. While anonymized data does not confer individual rights under GDPR, Time Doctor respects the principle of minimal data usage and adhere strictly to legal standards.
Data Security and Access Control: Access to anonymized data is strictly limited to authorized personnel who are involved in the machine learning training process. All such personnel are trained in data protection and bound by confidentiality obligations.
Retention of Anonymized Data: Anonymized data is retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the stated purposes of enhancing Time Doctor’s services. It is regularly reviewed and permanently deleted when no longer needed for its intended purpose.
8. Indemnification
8.1 By Time Doctor. Time Doctor will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Customer from and against all third party claims, losses, liabilities, damages, fees, expenses and costs (including attorneys' fees, court costs, damage awards, and settlement amounts) (collectively "Losses") arising out of a third party claim that Time Doctor's technology used to provide the Service infringes or misappropriates any United States patent, copyright, trade secret or trademark of such third party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Time Doctor have any obligations or liability under this Section arising from: (i) use of the Service in a modified form or in combination with materials not furnished by Time Doctor, and (ii) any content, information or data provided by Customer, Customer’s users or other third parties.Â

If Time Doctor receives information about an actual or alleged infringement or misappropriation claim that would be subject to indemnification rights set forth in this Section 8, Time Doctor shall have the option, at its expense, to (i) modify the Software to be non-infringing or (ii) obtain a license for Customer to continue using the Software. If Time Doctor determines it is not commercially reasonable to perform either of the above options, then Time Doctor may at its option elect to terminate the license for the Software Subscription and refund the unearned portion of any prepaid subscription Fees, prorated on a monthly basis.
